Marjorie Taylor Greene Files Articles of Impeachment against Merrick Garland

In the first shot of what could be a coming Republican congressional battle with Attorney General Merrick Garland if the party retakes the House in November, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed the first articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden’s top legal hatchet man.

Many GOP lawmakers have expressed criticism directed at the head of the Justice Department since the unprecedented storming of the Mar-a-Lago home of former President Donald J. Trump, a raid authorized by Garland as a potential pretense for an upcoming indictment along with a show trial in a Washington D.C. court, but Rep. Greene is the first to take action against the stunning abuse of power to target a political enemy.

The Georgia Republican who is a loyal ally of Trump’s announced her effort to hold Garland accountable on Friday, writing that his “personal approval to seek a search warrant for the raid on the home of the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, constitutes a blatant attempt to persecute a political opponent.”
